Excellent as always please say there is a bit of rain in the forecast for us :) 11mm in 7 weeks is pushing it a bit for spring crops

11mm is good ! Nothing here at all for a month now

Rain this week is the only chance of a half decent harvest now

Agree was always going to happen though wasn't it after the sh@test winter in nearly a century, it was going to go the other way.

Very little chance of my fodder beet and spring rape germinating without some rain though this wind has been sucking moisture out for at least a month
